From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 218 Searching for Evidence: The Game of True and False Daughter

When Lin Yue pushed the door open, Lawyer Chen's face looked slightly pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He held the phone tightly in his hand, his eyes flickering, as if he was trying hard to hide something.

Seeing Lin Yue, he forced a smile: "Ms. Lin, you're here." Lin Yue put the envelope in her hand on the table, tapped it lightly with her long nails, and her tone was gentle but with a hint of unquestionable deterrence: "Lawyer Chen, thank you for your hard work." Lawyer Chen picked up the envelope, and the heavy touch made his heart tremble.

He understood that once some choices were made, there was no turning back.

Wen Nuan anxiously waited for a call back from Lawyer Chen, but there was no response.

Feeling uneasy, she decided to go to the law firm in person.

When she arrived, she saw Lin Yue coming out of Lawyer Chen's office with a victorious smile on her face.

As the two passed each other, Lin Yue paused deliberately and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Wen Nuan, you lose." Wen Nuan stared back at her coldly, her eyes filled with a stubborn unwillingness to admit defeat. "Who will win is still to be seen."

Wen Nuan did not give up. She began to look for a breakthrough from another angle.

She noticed that although Lin Yue knew the Mo family business very well, he knew nothing about some of the traditional customs and habits within the family.

For example, the Mo family has specific rituals and procedures for their annual ancestor worship, but Lin Yue's performance during the most recent ancestor worship seemed particularly clumsy and unfamiliar, completely different from her previous shrewdness and competence.

Wen Nuan calmly recorded these details. She realized that this might be the key to revealing Lin Yue's true face.

At the same time, Mo Sanbo's support for Lin Yue became more and more firm.

He seemed completely bewildered by Lin Yue's disguise and ignored Wen Nuan's suspicions.

At a family gathering, Uncle Mo publicly accused Wen Nuan of deliberately making things difficult for Lin Yue, and put pressure on Mo Han to restrain Wen Nuan's behavior.

Mo Han calmly hugged Wen Nuan's shoulders, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Third Uncle, the truth will eventually come out."

As the night deepened, in Mo Han's study, Wen Nuan placed all the information she had collected on the table.

She pointed at the photo of Lin Yue at the ancestral worship ceremony and said to Mo Han, "Look, she doesn't even know the most basic etiquette. How can she be a real member of the Mo family?" Mo Han picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, his eyes gradually becoming deep.

He gently stroked her warm cheek, his tone gentle but with a hint of firmness: "Don't worry, I will help you find out everything."

At this moment, Mo Han's cell phone suddenly rang, and Director Li's name flashed on the screen.

Mo Han answered the phone, and Director Li's voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Mo, regarding next week's board meeting..." He paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "I have some new proposals and would like to discuss them with you alone..."

Director Li was aggressive at the board meeting. He slammed a document on the conference table and pointed at Wen Nuan and said, "An inexperienced person like her is not qualified to interfere in the company's affairs! I propose that all her powers be immediately deprived!" Director Li's proposal was echoed by several directors, and the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense.

Wen Nuan's face was calm, she had already expected such a situation.

She calmly turned on her computer and projected a carefully prepared business development plan onto the big screen.

"Dear directors," Wen Nuan's voice was clear and powerful, "Instead of standing still, we should look to the future. My plan can bring at least 30% profit growth to the company!" In the plan, Wen Nuan conducted a precise analysis of the market and proposed a bold and innovative strategy.

Several directors who originally supported Director Li began to hesitate. They were attracted by the huge potential contained in the plan.

In the end, the voting results were unexpected. Wen Nuan's plan was passed, and Director Li's plan completely failed.

His face turned pale, he glared at Wen Nuan fiercely, and walked away in anger.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan returned to the office, exhausted both physically and mentally.

On the table was her favorite matcha cake and a cup of hot milk. Next to it was a note with Mo Han's powerful handwriting: "Thank you for your hard work, my girl." Wen Nuan picked up the cake and took a bite. The rich aroma of matcha filled her mouth, and the sweet but not greasy taste made her feel a little comforted.

She knew that no matter how difficult the situation was, Mo Han would silently support her, which filled her with strength.

Wen Nuan was just about to pack up and go home when suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

A strange man stood at the door. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Wen Nuan? I... I have something to tell you about Lin Yue..." He paused, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "I... I used to be with her..."

The strange man's name was Wang Qiang. He stammered as he told a story about his past with Lin Yue.

It turned out that a few years ago, Lin Yue used the pseudonym "Li Xiaomei" and worked as an accountant in a small company.

Wang Qiang was her colleague at the time, and the two had a brief romance.

Later, Lin Yue suddenly disappeared, took away a sum of money from the company, and has not been heard from since.

Wang Qiang accidentally saw a news report about Wen Nuan and Lin Yue, recognized Lin Yue, and then he mustered up the courage to find Wen Nuan.

He provided information about the fake identities Lin Yue had used, as well as some details about her usual tricks and living habits, which were crucial to Wen Nuan.

At the same time, Mo Sanbo's attitude changed subtly.

He began to avoid Lin Yue intentionally or unintentionally, and questioned Lin Yue's proposal at the family meeting.

He found Wen Nuan in private, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone: "Wen Nuan, are you really sure that Lin Yue...she is not...?" Wen Nuan calmly took out the evidence provided by Wang Qiang, as well as the flaws in Lin Yue's living habits that she had collected herself, and placed them in front of Uncle Mo San one by one.

As Mo Sanbo looked at the evidence, his expression gradually became solemn. He realized that he might have really been deceived by Lin Yue.

Wen Nuan took the sorted documents and came to Lawyer Chen's office again.

She informed Lawyer Chen of the evidence provided by Wang Qiang and the flaws in Lin Yue's lifestyle...

After hearing this, Lawyer Chen's face turned extremely ugly. He muttered to himself, "How could this happen..." He suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Wen Nuan, and said word by word, "Ms. Wen Nuan, are you sure... everything you said... is true?"

Wen Nuan told Lawyer Chen without reservation the company name and employment date that Lin Yue worked for when she used the pseudonym "Li Xiaomei" provided by Wang Qiang, as well as some details that only people who had close contact with her would know, such as a small mole on Lin Yue's left shoulder blade and her habit of twisting her hair with her left hand.

The more Lawyer Chen listened, the worse his expression became. The "evidence" he had received before was like a slap in the face.

The professional judgment that he was so proud of was actually played around with by a liar!

Lawyer Chen immediately began to re-investigate. He retrieved the records of "Li Xiaomei" during her work at the company, compared handwriting and photos, and even found colleagues at the time to verify.

All the evidence points to the same conclusion: Lin Yue is Li Xiaomei. She forged her identity, stole company property and absconded, and now she is swaying herself as the daughter of the Mo family!

At the same time, reporter Zhao received an anonymous tip-off, saying that Wen Nuan maliciously fabricated rumors to frame Lin Yue, and would do anything to fight for the Mo family's property.

As if he had smelled explosive news, he immediately wrote a highly inflammatory article, portraying Wen Nuan as a scheming and greedy woman, and Lin Yue as a weak and innocent victim.

As soon as the article was published, it immediately caused an uproar, and public opinion almost unanimously condemned Wen Nuan.

Faced with the sudden storm of public opinion, Wen Nuan did not panic.

She knew that this was just Lin Yue's counterattack, and the evidence in her hand was her best weapon.

Mo Han also publicly expressed his absolute trust in Wen Nuan, and mobilized the power of the Mo family to investigate reporter Zhao and the people behind the scenes.

After seeing the evidence reorganized by Lawyer Chen, Uncle Mo finally came to his senses.

He felt ashamed of his previous stupidity and biased listening, and felt sorry for the injustice that Wen Nuan had suffered.

He found Mo Han, apologized to him solemnly, and expressed his full support for Wen Nuan to expose Lin Yue's true face.

Everything seemed to be moving in a direction that was favorable to Wen Nuan, but there was always a hint of uneasiness in her heart.

Although the clues provided by Wang Qiang are important, they are not enough to constitute a fatal blow.

She needs to find more conclusive evidence to completely bring down Lin Yue.

Late at night, Wen Nuan received an anonymous text message on her mobile phone: "I know Lin Yue's secret. See you at the old place tomorrow at noon." Wen Nuan held the phone tightly, her heart beating faster.

She didn't know who the other party was, nor did she know whether the other party really had the key information.

But she knew she had to go.

The next day at noon, Wen Nuan arrived at the agreed location on time - a remote cafe.

She looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.

Just as she was about to leave, a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses walked up to her.

The woman lowered her voice and said, "Are you... Wen Nuan?" Wen Nuan nodded warily.

The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of fear-filled eyes. She trembled and said, "I... I know Lin Yue... she..." She suddenly stopped, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head sharply to look at the entrance of the cafe...
